Ben Ray Lujan: Taxing the Rich is the Key

Ben Ray Lujan
Congressman Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico’s Third District voted against legislation to extend the payroll tax cut yesterday. Lujan characterized the bill as one that would require more sacrifices from middle-class families and seniors. In a news release on his website he said the bill protects the interests of millionaires and billionaires while including provisions that have already been declared dead on arrival by the Senate and rejected by the President – threatening final passage of tax cuts for 160 million Americans.
Representative Martin Heinrich also voted against the bill that would extend the payroll tax cut. He posted no statement regarding his vote on his website.

Looks like democrats don't care if net paychecks are reduced. Instead of passing a bill that extends the payroll tax reduction and creating pipeline jobs the democrats have punted. Evidently they're number one objective is to blame republicans rather than help Americans seeking jobs and higher paychecks.
